{"product_id":"and-still-i-rise-a-book-of-poems-1","title":"And Still I Rise: A Book of Poems","description":"Maya Angelou’s unforgettable collection of poetry lends its name to the documentary film about her life, And Still I Rise, as seen on PBS’s American Masters.\n\nPretty women wonder where my secret lies.\nI’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size\nBut when I start to tell them,\nThey think I’m telling lies.\nI say,\nIt’s in the reach of my arms,\nThe span of my hips,\nThe stride of my step,\nThe curl of my lips.\nI’m a woman\nPhenomenally.\nPhenomenal woman,\nThat’s me.\n\nThus begins “Phenomenal Woman,” just one of the beloved poems collected here in Maya Angelou’s third book of verse. These poems are powerful, distinctive, and fresh—and, as always, full of the lifting rhythms of love and remembering. And Still I Rise is written from the heart, a celebration of life as only Maya Angelou has discovered it.\n\n“It is true poetry she is writing,” M.F.K. Fisher has observed, “not just rhythm, the beat, rhymes. I find it very moving and at times beautiful. It has an innate purity about it, unquenchable dignity. . . . It is astounding, flabbergasting, to recognize it, in all the words I read every day and night . . . it gives me heart, to hear so clearly the caged bird singing and to understand her notes.”\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0394502523\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0394502523.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Angelou, Maya\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
